Hi! Check if your system meets the system requirements at www.softube.com/support/faq-flow/faq-flow-mastering-suite-system-requirements and then my best suggestion is that you try the free 14-day trial to make sure it runs as it should (without a heavy CPU usage) on your system :) Best regards, David at Softube

Hi there! Here's the list: www.softube.com/know-your-flow-mastering Best regards, David at Softube

@@SoftubeStudios Thank you David. Nothing seems to be tailored for orchestral nor classical music. Some day maybe.

Hi! With an active subscription, you earn 30 credits that can be spent in the credit store - you earn 2 credits per USD/EUR spent, which means that you will have a 50% discount on list price of the plug-ins included in Flow® Mastering Suite. For example, you would get Clipper for 79 credits after 3 months of subscribing, and Weiss DS1-MK3 after 19 months of subscribing :) All plug-ins in the Credit Store are listed here: www.softube.com/flow-credit-store Best regards, David at Softube

It's another thing they could've clarified in this video, but the landing page the link leads to has more details. The subscription allows you to use these plugins outside of the Flow suite, as well, so if you'd like to set up your own chain on your main out, you can do that; and all of the plugins are Console 1 controllable (yeah, not the same as being able to control the macros with Console 1, but perhaps that'll be built into a future update--can't hurt to email Softube with your feedback). Right now you have to apply if you want to create your own flows, as Softube presumably is open to having more pro signal chains to offer, but once again, it couldn't hurt to email them your feedback. As a fledgling mastering engineer with a modestly-tuned home studio, my signal chains are pretty simple, but I could see myself wanting to build my own macros in the not-so-distant future, too. But if you can make performance macros with Modular, they may yet build that feature into a later release of Flow.

@@IniresMirrors Thank you for taking the time, but I was already well aware of all of this before I wrote my comment! Yes, they could potentially improve on the product and deliver everything I'm (and others) are asking for, but for now it is not the case and I have yet to read that Softube intends to do so. You're right - an e-mail probably wouldn't hurt - it just seemed to me like they are reading the comments here anyway! Thanks again for taking the time to elaborate! It's the thought/intention that counts.

Hi! We're definitely reading the comments here - your feedback is much appreciated :) Best regards, David at Softube.

And of course it's one of the few products that didn't go on sale... Huh.

There might be offers coming later on; stay tuned :) Best regards, David at Softube.

@@SoftubeStudios I got it. Thanks!

Hi! :) Let us know if you have any questions about Flow :) Best regards, David

Nope, while T-Racks Suite comes with chains too, it is not about macros - it's about presets that you then micro. Softube's Flow lets you control macros of chains, but you have a cleaner slate at the beginning and more trouble if you want to micro the controls. Similar general concepts, but not quite the same.

Hi Jeff! We have received some similar reports: www.softube.com/support/known-issues/console1-third-party-plugins Please try this: Quit the On-Screen Display from the systems tray/menu bar. Re-start Softube Central and reinstall the Console 1 software to the latest version (2.5.82). Also, make sure to download and install VST3 versions of UADx and Fabfilter. Other formats (AU/VST2.4./AAX) will not work. If none of this helps, please do a clean install of your UADx plug-ins. Please contact us at support@softube.com if the problem persists. Best regards, David at Softube

you'll aways lose with subscription. Just take a look at the credit system, it does not align with the monthly cost, there will always be unsused points left in the end...

I think the issue in this case is, that there are so many big hitters (moneywise) in terms of plugins incorporated. So basically, if they made it a fixed price, they would sell you all the plugins incorporated at the same time.. that would be a lot more expensive than the Weiss Complete Bundle or Console 1. So the idea is, that if you want to own it perpetually, you can still buy all the plugins, start the subscription to flow and cancel it. In that way, you theoretically still have an individual fixed price.. it's just not visible in the shop.

Hi! :) If you own, or decide to buy all plug-ins included in a (or several) Flow(s), you'll still have access to Flow even without an active subscription - so there's still the possibility to choose whether you want to subscribe-to-own or buy the plug-ins at their regular fixed prices and own them perpetually. Speaking of that, we just launched the official Summer sale at softube.com if you'd like to check it out :) Finally; thanks for your feedback regarding Flow! It is much appreciated :) Best regards, David at Softube.

@@SoftubeStudios Thank you for addressing my issues. Again, I love the product (all your products actually) and I get what you are trying to achieve, I am just not sure I am currently aligned with the pricing strategy. But, tomorrow is a new day, you never know. :)

Hi! We accept credit cards and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, and American Express) - if we add more payment options later on, we'll update the FAQ at www.softube.com/support/faq-flow/faq_flow_mastering_suite Best regards, David at Softube

​@SoftubeStudios it's a very convoluted subscription method

Where do I find the perpetual pricing. I refuse to *ever* subscribe to software rentseeking schemes, and I'm not alone in my distaste for this. And I'm sure its just I havent been able to find it, but yeah, I cant find it.

Hi! That's very true. We think that one major application of this will definitely be stereo bus processing. But if you're a seasoned mastering engineer, you can either use the full plugin features within Flow Mastering Suite, or you can load the plugins separately as VST/AU/AAX in you DAW.

Hi! Check out this video for a comparison: ua-cam.com/video/4FEUn-bA1T0/v-deo.html

Thanks! :)

Was trying to play with the demo, but there’s a major iLok Cloud outage in the US today.

AI doesn't "consider" your song either. It just measure a handful of parameters and just sets the plugins to some sort of statistical average of whatever seems to match in its database... but in reality, you have no idea if it doesn't confuse your rock song for an EDM track (because you've used an octaver pedal) and/or if the mastering settings it was trained on were good to begin with.

@@Etienne.6329 AI does take into account measurements of frequency response and dynamic measurements against those weighted statistics though. Something like Ozone allows you to choose the genre as well. Or something like Tonal Balance, or Sonible True Balance and their other tools. At least they rely on references and have some kind of input to guide their settings. Better than a preset with macros that just gradually turns up 3kHZ the more you turn it.

Well ultimately… with new music in the state it is now in… making everything sound like everything else may not be helpful, either to the craft or acquired skill in making great records, or to our cultural and creative development. Love and own most of the best Softube softwares already, and take such pleasure in creating the very individual voices that so clearly define us as a generation. Don’t take that away from us, please. I have other versions of this idea from other companies, and find that I almost never use or even refer to them in preference to a ‘hands on’ creation. Just maybe, if you can’t make brilliant musical sounds with the collection of plugins already on offer from Softube… then maybe you never will. Music happens in its own well tempered time. There’s no need at all need to hurry.

Yes, just with the exemple of the EQ macro it seems to be a really bad idea to use this « mastering tool » because it adds and reduces frequencies without analyzing the song itself. One example: our song contains already too much bass at a certain frequency -> the macro can add even more bass because the Softube « mastering preset » is done that way and it will sound even worse! So unprofessional I can’t believe it.

It's because it loads multiple plugins at once.

Hi! It is not possible to create your own Flows - the Flows are built to deliver the sound of the very purposefully built signal chains and workflows by professional mastering engineers. But even though you can't create your own Flows - you can tweak the existing ones endlessly and save as own presets using the Preset Collection :) We have some more great FAQ:s here: www.softube.com/support/faq-flow/faq_flow_mastering_suite. Thanks, David at Softube.

@@SoftubeStudios Thanks, I have all but 3 so far. Will look into it.

Hi there! :) If you have the time, please don't hesitate to elaborate and let us know what you think we could have done differently :) Best regards, David at Softube

how ? you have full access to all controls

Not really, rent-to-own at 50% off is not too bad.

People say if you start the free trial & cancel subscription you will still have access to Flows where you own all plugins.

@@TransistorLSD This is true! More information here: www.softube.com/how-flow-mastering-subscribe-to-own-works

Yep, that's how it works :) More info here: www.softube.com/how-flow-mastering-subscribe-to-own-works

Saved and passed on as a feature request :) Best regards, David at Softube

@@SoftubeStudios glad to see that at least One plugin developer doing something about us, all the best.

Just had a Quick Look and it looks like you only have to pay for credits, so if you already own the plugins, you don’t have to pay - I might try a trial to see if

Exact same thing I was going to say!

When will plugin marketers learn? Subscription pricing is terrible.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback! One of the best things about Flow is that you can choose to use the macro controls to get to, say, 80% of the sound you're after and you can then fine-adjust using the individual plug-ins (these 16 plug-ins can also be used as VST/AU/AAX plug-ins within your DAW). Flow is a subscribe-to-own model (rather than a regular subscription), so if you have purchased all the plug-ins that make up a Flow, you now own those products perpetually. If you decide to cancel your Flow subscription, you can still use that particular Flow within the Flow plug-in, since you now own those plug-ins perpetually. The best thing is of course if you try it yourself and see what you think :) There's a 14-day free trial available at www.softube.com/flow-mastering-suite Best regards, David at Softube

@@SoftubeStudios If you choose to respond to a comment like the one I made, you IMHO should try to actually reply, not try to sell me the product.

NO WAY ! You're sure? Anyway, I will try it

Softube obviously doesn't care. Get the Nektar CS12 its universal

​@@joost3783suddenly I believe, they will make this available on the fader mk3... It makes sense to boost sales and because of the macro interface... Anyway I believe I will couple my C1 mk3 with an MP Midi instead the new version is awesome, there's so many features and also macro...

I’d be VERY surprised if this doesn’t happen very soon

@@Etienne.6329 maybe with fader mk 2

Not really. If you own any of the plugins, you get all the flows perpetually as long as you own those plugins. So if you own all the plugins that is used, you have free access to it. But I think in order to get it you have to start the trail to get access to the download and putting it into your account.

Well it's a wall... of presets... with macros for ease of use...

Thank you! :)

You don’t. You get all the flows as long as you have all the plugins in that flow. It points to you get perpetual access to those on the website. But apparently to get flow you have to start the trail. If you missing any items though you can keep subscribing for credits to get the ones you are missing.

I guess I’ll wait for the non monthly version… whenever and if will ever comes out…

@@TheSupergan that’s called just buying all the individual plug-ins that are And then you have access to flow without paying a monthly subscription.

Exactly @darkmaer! It's better than a subscription 🙂 For each month you subscribe to Flow®, you earn credits. If you have purchased all the plug-ins that make up a Flow, you own those products perpetually and you can keep on using Flow without an active subscription.

​@@SoftubeStudios Mastering flow is obviously great. However, you should bring pricing / credit stuff and "rent to own" more upfront in your marketing. It is a bit unclear how it works. People are somehow traumatized by big companies turning their plugins into subscription only and swiftly making their mind before giving you a turn. Keep up the great work👍
